Samsung might announce the Galaxy J5 (2017) smartphone today

The upcoming Galaxy J (2017) handsets have been mentioned by many rumors and leaks so far, but now it looks like the Galaxy J5 (2017) is almost official. Although Samsung still has to announce it, the handset was spotted on the website of German retailer Cyberport, but also on Amazon France.

According to these listings mentioned earlier, the Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) features an octa-core processor with a clock speed of 1.6 GHz, next to 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. Dual-SIM support is also present, next to NFC, Bluetooth 4.2, a 2,600 mAh battery, and Android 7.0 Nougat. Although these specs clearly place it in the mid-range sector of the market, the new Galaxy J5 comes with a full metal body.

The date shown by the display of the product found on Amazon is June 5, so it is very likely to see the official announcement late today. On the other hand, the Galaxy J5 (2017) spotted on Cyberport suggested a June 22 launch. We should find out everything about it sooner or later this month anyway, so stay tuned.
